[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our house used to be full of clutter until we moved into a new house and I decided there would be rules about what could be done in each area of the house.  This has helped tremendously.  No shoes or food upstairs (now I can go longer without vacuuming too).  Food can only be eaten in the kitchen.  Laundry can never be downstairs - if you take off your socks, put them upstairs in the laundry room.  Mail and papers stay in the office.  This seemed to be easier for my family than just telling them to pick up after themselves and when things like laundry and papers accumulate, at least I'm only collecting it from one area of the house rather than running around to every room picking up socks.

[b]Investing in proper storage helps too so that everything has a place and your family knows where to return an item once they are done using it.  Bookshelves, a filing cabinet, and entryway storage have helped us keep things organized.[/b]  [/quote]

Yes this.  The clutter is magically gone when it's on a shelf or a basket.

I went to Michaels and got a bunch of these big wicker baskets and placed them throughout the house, on landings, etc.  Throw everything in there and poof, clutter's gone.    [/quote]
